In manufacturing and government contracting, accuracy isn’t optional — it’s the foundation of profitability, compliance, and trust. Every time record, labor charge, and payroll entry must align perfectly across multiple systems and stakeholders. But too often, organizations rely on separate tools for attendance, labor tracking, and payroll, each introducing reconciliation headaches, duplicated data, and audit risks.
That’s why AutoTime™ stands apart. It delivers a single source of truth for timekeeping. One source for both attendance and labor, automatically reconciled and audit-ready.
This isn’t just a convenience feature; it’s a transformation in how organizations manage their workforce, costs, and compliance obligations.
One Source. One Truth.
AutoTime consolidates all employee time data into a single, auto-reconciling timecard. Every punch, project charge, and schedule adjustment updates in real time, ensuring labor and attendance data always match. That means no more cross-checking between systems or manually reconciling mismatched data.
Instead of having one timecard for “time” and another for “labor,” AutoTime treats them as two sides of the same story with one dataset powering payroll, cost accounting, and compliance simultaneously.
This unified approach reduces duplication, cuts down on errors, and gives supervisors instant visibility into the hours worked, jobs completed, and costs accrued. All from a single dashboard.
Fewer Errors, Faster Payroll
When multiple systems track different pieces of time data, every integration point becomes a potential error. AutoTime eliminates those risks. Because it automatically reconciles attendance and labor in real time, payroll processing becomes faster, simpler, and more accurate.
Supervisors no longer need to chase down missing punches or reconcile job codes and payroll teams spend less time troubleshooting discrepancies. The result?
Fewer reworks + Shorter payroll cycles = Happier employees.
And when auditors come calling, everything they need is in one place, complete with a full audit trail that records who made changes, when, and why.
Audit-Ready by Design
For government contractors, a “single source of truth” also means DCAA confidence. AutoTime automatically tracks compensated and uncompensated labor, ensuring that total time accounting calculations are performed fairly and accurately. Every edit, adjustment, and approval is logged, satisfying the Defense Contract Audit Agency’s (DCAA) strict standards for labor traceability and internal control.
This means teams can spend less time preparing for audits and more time delivering on contracts. When AutoTime data flows directly to ERP and payroll systems, compliance becomes a built-in part of your process and not a last-minute scramble.
Simplified Oversight and Real-Time Control
Because AutoTime serves as the single source of truth, decision-makers get an immediate, reliable view of what’s happening across the workforce. Supervisors can monitor job progress, track utilization, and correct errors before they cascade into payroll. Managers can see project costs accumulate in real time, enabling better budget control and forecasting.
And for organizations balancing multiple contracts, schedules, and labor categories, that visibility is critical for maintaining compliance with federal cost accounting standards.
One Source, Many Benefits
By eliminating duplicate timekeeping systems, AutoTime helps organizations:
- Reduce reconciliation and reporting time
- Eliminate data discrepancies between attendance and labor
- Simplify payroll and accelerate approvals
- Strengthen compliance with DCAA and FAR regulations
- Provide a verifiable, real-time audit trail
- Give employees confidence their time, and pay, are always correct
In short, we have created a single source of truth for timekeeping which transforms data accuracy into operational strength.
The Future of Workforce Confidence
In industries where precision defines success, like aerospace, defense, manufacturing, and beyond, trust in your data is everything. AutoTime provides that trust by ensuring your workforce time and labor information always match, always reconcile, and always stand up to scrutiny.
When timekeeping becomes a single, unified source for both attendance and labor, compliance becomes natural, payroll becomes effortless, and decision-making becomes faster. That’s the AutoTime advantage. We think of it as one truth for every second worked.
Precision matters. Compliance matters. And when margins are tight and accountability is high, AutoTime helps you stay in control.
